At the launching event of the Truemessenger app, Alan Mamedi, CEO and co-founder of Truecaller, said:

“Today’s messaging apps are under constant attack from spammers and surrounded by uncertainty, but when we communicate via email for instance, our email app shows you the sender’s name and filters out spam messages for you, but SMS has lacked these essential components – until today. With Truemessenger we’ve re-imagined the SMS app experience by making it more social and putting control back into the users’ hands so they always know who they are communicating with,”

Truecaller has two more apps in the market other than Truemessenger. These are Truecaller and Truedialler. Before download, one should keep in mind that Truemessenger is only available for Android users right now.
